Decision 3047M – Transport Workers Union of America Local 250A (Porter)
SF-CO-553-M
Decision Date: July 31, 2026
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Afiya Porter alleged that Transport Workers Union of America Local 250A breached its duty of fair representation by failing to respond to her request to appeal to arbitration a grievance denial by her employer. Porter’s grievance concerned a disability accommodation denial and a discrimination claim. After a formal hearing, an ALJ dismissed the complaint and underlying unfair practice charge, finding that the duty of fair representation likely did not apply to the claims raised in Porter’s grievance and her employer’s grievance response. The ALJ further concluded that even if the duty of fair representation applied in this context, Porter failed to establish Local 250A’s actions were without a rational basis or honest judgment. Porter filed exceptions.
Disposition: In a non-precedential decision, the Board affirmed the proposed decision.
